64F, 99%, foggy in spots.  7:11 AP.  Had a brand new pair of legs in the cool air.  I ran to Apache and back and felt really strong this morning, even hitting MP for the last couple miles without much effort.

69F, 78%.  8:02 AP.  Sluggish again, so I cut it short.  Tomorrow is by far, weather-wise, the best day for a workout this week so I'm attempting to recover in time for it to get in some 10K pace work.

63F, 99%, thick fog.  A little ticked, because as I stepped out the door my Garmin battery read 0%.  Pretty sure I charged it recently, but it died right away.  Worst possible day for that to happen too - I still went to the track and did 6 x 800m, on short (200m active) recovery, at what I thought might be 10K effort.  I had a really specific time (3:02) that I wanted to hit, that corresponds to sub-38 pace for my race next month.  Oh well, maybe I did it, maybe I didn't.  After the intervals I did an all-out 200m sprint - pretty sure I set the new world record but the world will never know because my watch was dead.  I probably need to get a cheapo watch I can use as a back-up for timing splits.  Anyway, I got my legs moving faster than normal, so that's something.

74F, 78%, S 12 mph.  7:40 AP.  Stride felt a little weird, just kind of clomped around today, if that makes sense.  Probably not.
